IMPROVEMENT IN BOTTLES FOR GASEOUS LIQUIDS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 101,889, (latcd.April12, 1870.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, JOHN FREDERIC Ku- BLY, of the city and State of New York, and CHARLES FREDERIC GRAILsHEIM, of Paris, in the Empire ofFrance, have invented and made anew and useful Improvement in Bottiesfor Wines, Champagne, &c.; and we do hereby declare the following to beafull, clear, and exact description of the said invention, referencebeing had to the annexed drawings, making part of this specification,wherein- Figure lis avertical section ofa bottle iitted with ourimprovements. Fig. 2 is a plan of the stopper as turned back, and Fig. 3represents the halves of thedivided` screw neckband.

Similar marks of reference denote the same parts.

Our invention is designed for excluding the atmosphere and confining thecontents of the bottle, but allowing saidcontents to be drawn ott'indetail or emptied at once.

This invention consists in a bottle for effervescing liquids, formedwith a side neck and lube descending to near the bottom ofthe hottle, towhich a valve. is applied, so that the liquid may be drawn off in detailwithout opening the bottle, in combination with the neck at the top anda stopper applied thereto, so'

that the bottle can be filled through this lastnamed neck or theremaining portions-of the contents be emptied therefrom.

In the drawings, c is the bottle, b a neck at the top of the bottle, andc a neck at the side of the bottle, forming a branch. These are all madein glass.

d isa neckband, madein two parts, with projecting pins enteringcorresponding holes, as seen in Fig. 3, by which the parts will be heldtogether; and around the outside ofthe band a screw-thread is formed.This band is to fit the neck b or c, and upon it is screwed the socket eor f.

The socket e is in the form of a hollow band, within which is a ring, h,which can be partially revolved by a thumb-piece, g, that projectsthrough a slot in e, and on the outside of.

this ring his a projecting inclined iange, that forms a cam to act uponthe hooked catch k of the stopper Z and draw said stopper firmly downupon the end of the neck or mouth of the bottle. The stopper l is hingedto the socket e at t', and within said stopper Z is an elastic plug, m,of india-rubber, that sits within the mouth and bears upon the end ofthe bottle.

A tube, u, is provided, that passes through the neck c nearly to thebottom ofthe bottle, and this tube n has a iiangem, that sits within arecess in the socket f,- aud 2 is a disk or washer of india-rubberbetween a and the face of the neck c, that makes the parts tight.

At thei'ront of the socket f isavalve, formed so as to be introducedwithin the tube o. This tube o receives the stem r of the valve s, andthis stem 1 extends to the cap t.

At uisa springto keep the valve s to the seat o, and at 3 there aredisks ofrubber supported between metaldisks, so as to make aperfectlytight packing around the stem r. The valve s is formed hollowto receive an elastic washer, and the seat o is made tubular to press onthe same and form a tightjoint.

A small nozzle, fw, is screwed into the end of the tube o, to givedirection to the liquid as it escapesin small quantities when the cap orcompression-head t is forced down.

This device allows the wine or other liquid to be drawn in smallquantities, and at the same time excludes the atmosphere. The bottlc isto be filled at the neck b'; or its contents may be emptied therefrom,if desired.

What we claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

The side neck, c, tube n, and valve s, constructed and appliedsubstantially as set forth, in combination with the neck b and stopperI, as and for the purposes set forth.

In witness whereofwe have hereunto set our signatures in the presenceofthe subscribing witnesses.
